Self-love isn’t about brushing the bits you hate under the rug. There is no rug. You’re either all in, or you’re simply not done learning to love yourself yet. Loving what we hate is incredibly challenging, and sometimes actual love is impossible. But acceptance will do. Even if none of my ideas ring true for you, give some thought to actions and thought patterns that might move you closer to accepting your whole self with affection. The work might be hard, but the payoff will be so very, very worth it. Just think of all the extra energy you’d have if you stopped burning it off loathing your big nose, bad hair, weak chin! You could take over the damned world, kitten.
